For 2,000 years, Catholicism—the largest religion in the world and in the United States—has shaped global history on a scale unequaled by any other institution. But until now, Catholics interested in their faith have been hard-pressed to find an accessible, affirmative, and exciting history of the Church.
Triumph is that history. Inside, you'll discover the spectacular story of the Church from Biblical times and the early days of St. Peter—the first pope—to the twilight years of John Paul II. It is a sweeping drama of Roman legions, great crusades, epic battles, toppled empires, heroic saints, and enduring faith. And, there are stormy controversies: Dark Age skullduggery, the Inquistition, the Renaissance popes, the Reformation, the Church's refusal to accept sexual liberation and contemporary allegations like those made in Hitler's Pope and Papal Sin.
A brawling, colorful history full of inspiring pageantry and spirited polemic, Triumph will exhilarate, amuse, and infuriate as it extols the glories of Catholic history and the gripping stories of its greatest men and women.

Triumph
To be honest, this book was so noxious that I never finished reading it. He does a disservice to the Catholic Church in his arrogant strutting and his careless interpretation of the Fourth Crusade and the Protestant Revolt (a term with which I agree). He has the audacity to say that April 12 (the unfortunate in 1204 when the Fourth Crusade despite Pope Innocent III's threat of excommunication) conquered Constantinople and proceeded to sack it should be made a feast day. It was a horrible event, although perhaps exaggerated by Byzantine chroniclers, that led to the desecration of churches. REMEMBER: THE ORTHODOX HAVE VALID SACRAMENTS!!! If April 12 should be observed in the Church, it should be as a Day of Penance for the sin that the Crusaders committed against the Unity of Holy Mother Church. Protestants were not, as he argues, merely barely civilized Germans but members of a sophisticated European society that had produced a much more restrained Renaissance than the decadent Italian Renaissance. The Catholic Church is indeed the Church established by Christ and is infallible but her triumph is in the fact that despite all the sinfulness, stupidity and just plain hard heartness of Her children she has never failed to teach the Truth and has never erred.
